He recently completed a film called "Baby Snakes" and a new symphonic work called "Wooool" (spelled with slashes through the first and last o's, umlauts over the two middle o's, and a tilde over the L – thus pronounced something like "Woh-ooo-oh-luh," but modern typesetting prohibits such reproduction here.)

"Wooool" is scored for a Mahler-sized orchestra: 60 strings, four flutes, piccolo, all other woodwinds four-deep, eight french horns, four trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, six percussionists.

There are currently no plans to perform the piece, mostly because of the logistics involved. (Performance and recording of the Abnuceals [Emuukha] Electric Symphony Orchestra concert at UCLA two years ago cost about $200,000).

We thought we had to make sure to include from the inferior source at least the possible (?) world 1980 premiere on-stage recording of that famous little eight note fragment (C-A-G#-G# A#-A-F#-F#),
strangely named "Wøööøl" at a first stage, but later more widely known for its inclusion in "Mo'N' Herb's Vacation Part II and III" [LSO],
and heard here for the first time during the Tuning section of Track 00.
This little run has been quoted in several 1980 shows' FZ solos since.

In fact this 8 note line, then known as "Wøööøl", can already be heard in several Jan-Feb 1978 shows during some of the "Sheik Yerbouti Tango" and "Torture" solos
(1978 Feb 17 Copenhagen, Feb 18 Gothenburg or Feb 19 Stockholm, for instance).

Check the Early 1978 Tour or Early 1980 Tour setlist entries in FZshows
for the "q: Mo'n Herb's Vacation" mentions included there.
